Open to all forms "Ib'n Arabi(Sufi Poet, s. XII)My heart is open to all forms:is a pasture for gazelles,is a cloister for Christian monks,a temple for idolsthe Kaaba of the pilgrim,the tablets of the Torah,and the book of QuranWe acknowledge the religion of love,and whatever direction they move their ways;the direction of Loveis my religion and my faith.

There is a soul inside your soul. Search this Soul.There is a jewel in the mountains of the body. Search this gem mine Oh, Sufi, passing!Search inside, if you can, not out

In love, there is no high nor lowmisconduct or good,neither leader nor follower or devoteethere is only indifference, tolerance and delivery

Love is one of the most important themes in the work of Rumi object of his poems rich and plain. For him, love is "the astrolabe of the mysteries of God":

For more that describe or explain yourself love,when we fall in love us ashamed of our words.The explanation clarifies the language for most things,But love is not explained more clearly.When the sentence was quick to write,Upon arriving at the theme of love, broke in two.When the discourse touched on the issue of love,The penalty came down and tore the paper up.To explain it, the reason soon balks, like an ass in mire;Nothing but Love itself can explain the love and lovers-----------------El amor es uno de los temas más importantes en la obra de Rumi objeto de sus poemas rico y llano.Para él, el amor es "el astrolabio de los misterios de Dios":

Artemisia is one of my all times favorite Iranian Military commanders. Soon I will publish her full updated biography in IPC. Artemisia was not just another Iranian Military Commander, yet she is a living legend and a role model for Persian Women.

I see my longing
Crying in the arms
loneliness
And I say softly with tears
I love you

The reflection cast from good friends is neededuntil you become, without the aid of any reflector,a drawer of water from the Sea.Know that the reflection is at first just imitation,but when it continues to recur,it turns into direct realization of truth.Until it has become realization,don't part from the friends who guide you-don't break away from the shellif the raindrop hasn't yet become a pearl.~Rumi~

Shrine of Jalaluddin Rumi, Konya

Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death.
Tomorrow, when resurrection comes,
The heart that is not in love will fail the test.

I have phrases and whole pages memorized,
but nothing can be told of love.
You must wait until you and I
are living together.
In the conversation we'll have
then...be patient...then.
Rumi

Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkhī (Persian: جلال الدین محمد بلخى), also known as Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (Persian: جلال‌الدین محمد رومی), and popularly known as Mowlānā (Persian: مولانا) but known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi[3] (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273), was a 13th-century Persian[1][4][5][6][7][8][9] poet, jurist, theologian, and Sufi mystic.[10] Rūmī is a descriptive name meaning "the Roman" since he lived most of his life in an area called Rūm because it was once ruled by the Byzantine Empire.[11]
Rumi was born in Greater Balkh (Bakhtarzamin), and thus he is called Balkhi, in Wakhsh,[12] a small town located at the river Wakhsh in what is now Tajikistan. Wakhsh belonged to the larger province of Balkh, and in the year Rumi was born, his father was an appointed scholar there.[12] Both these cities were at the time included in the Greater Persian cultural sphere of Khorasan, the easternmost province of historical Persia,[1] and were part of the Khwarezmian Empire.

His birthplace[1] and native language[13] both indicate a Persian heritage. His father decided to migrate westwards due to quarrels between different dynasties in Khorasan, opposition to the Khwarizmid Shahs who were considered devious by Bahā ud-Dīn Walad (Rumi's father),[14] or fear of the impending Mongol cataclysm.[15] Rumi's family traveled west, first performing the Hajj and eventually settling in the Anatolian city Konya (capital of the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, in present-day Turkey). This was where he lived most of his life, and here he composed one of the crowning glories of Persian literature which profoundly affected the culture of the area.[16]

He lived most of his life under the Sultanate of Rum, where he produced his works[17] and died in 1273 CE. He was buried in Konya and his shrine became a place of pilgrimage.[18] Following his death, his followers and his son Sultan Walad founded the Mawlawīyah Sufi Order, also known as the Order of the Whirling Dervishes, famous for its Sufi dance known as the samāʿ ceremony.

Rumi's works are written in the New Persian language. A Persian literary renaissance (in the 8th/9th century) started in regions of Sistan, Khorāsān and Transoxiana[19] and by the 10th/11th century, it reinforced the Persian language as the preferred literary and cultural language in the Persian Islamic world. Although Rumi's works were written in Persian, Rumi's importance is considered to transcend national and ethnic borders. His original works are widely read in their original language across the Persian-speaking world. Translations of his works are very popular in other countries. His poetry has influenced Persian literature as well as Urdu, Punjabi and other Pakistani languages written in Perso/Arabic script e.g. Pashto and Sindhi. His poems have been widely translated into many of the world's languages and transposed into various formats; He has been described as the "most popular poet in America" in 2007.[2

For Rumi's life has meaning only for those who know love. Only he who loves knows the immense joy and deep sorrow. Whoever loves is a prisoner of love and master. Only one who loves can expose yourself to noon without burning.

In the rich mystical tradition of Islam, Rumi has emerged as one of its most luminous figures. As a mystic, revealed intensive poetic themes of love and unity of humans with ever greater mystery of God. The aim of this paper is to place him in the tradition of Sufism and present, in summary form, some traces of his mystical thought: the passion for unity, the path to unity, the evidence of God and the religion of love.
The term Sufism, Tasawwuf translation, derived from the root suf which means wool in Arabic. In fact, the primordial experience of Sufism, the early ascetics clothed with the habit of wool, similar to the Christian hermits in a sign of penance and detachment of world.2. The idea that prevails is the "purity" (safa) and the Sufi that "pure heart" because of the presence of surrounding Beloved
(Eastern philosophy)
In line with the mystical Sufi tradition, there Rûmi in a visceral passion for unity. This "consciousness of the One" God only love
much love and peace
